I was just prescribed Imitrex by my doctor. I don't understand why so many people use the oral tablets or nasal spray, when they can get much faster relief by using the injectable. Can someone comment on this?Thanks.

My doctor didn't mention any of the other methods to me when she prescribed the tablets for me. I would have probably gone for the nasal method, as I get very nauseated with my migraines, and the tablets sometimes don't stay down!

I'm not too good with needles, so I probably wouldn't go for the injectible, however, if it works quickler, then it's probably worth putting my fear of them to the back of my mind!Migraine sufferer since age 16
